This task is designed to assess how well students understand drawing and recognising transformations.

There are a range of tasks that involve reflecting, translating, and rotating shapes to create designs for greetings cards. A final task presents a completed design and students must identify the...

Abbie is an engineer working at Airbus Defence and Space.  She is in charge of ensuring that all the parts of the ExoMars Rover come together on time and to the right specification. 

Abbie sets two challenges for students: to write an algorithm for a rover to avoid rocks on a grid and to come up with ideas...

Discover the history of the Core Maths qualifications, the reasons behind the qualification and the benefits to students studying it. The documents below include details of the UCAS points awarded to the qualification and information on the awarding organisations.

The resources also include details of how...

A collection of resources, from the SYCD Primary CD, exploring 'How Science Works' in everyday life and developing scientific vocabulary and understanding. The major resources are: *Reporting science - a unit which provides an opportunity for pupils to develop their writing, speaking and listening skills through...

In this activity, part of a group of Python inspired resources,  students will learn how to write a Python program telling people all about you.

This edition of the Computing at School (CAS) newsletter covers a range of topics including:

*Unplugged computing magic tricks

*Programming using Alice, Scratch and GameMaker

*Making games with Kodu

*Object oriented programming in Java with Greenfoot

This short activity for primary school computing uses art to introduce the concept of abstraction. During a ‘guess what’ game the children are asked to represent a word on a card using drawing or modelling – in doing so they unconsciously concentrate on just the most important aspects of the idea they are...

Part of the Educational research in STEM subjects collection, this is a collection of academic research looking at pedagogy in STEM subjects. 

Students often find it difficult to understand the related concepts of acceleration and speed. Making use of the BBC micro:bit on-board accelerometer, this playful activity allows students to get an intuitive understanding through hands-on activity.

The simple game requires that students maintain...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recall that acceleration in one dimension describes the motion of an object that is speeding up or slowing down.
• Describe acceleration and differentiate between displacement,...

A pair of videos that explains how to demonstrate the Newton’s Second Law required practical. The first demonstrates an experiment we can do in order to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object (with a constant mass) and the applied force.  The second explains how to interpret the data,...

The first demonstrates an experiment we can do in order to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object (with a constant force) and its mass.  The second explains how to interpret the data, plot the...

This collection contains ten resources each containing an engaging activity for mathematics students. Mathematical topics covered include fractions, algebra, area and perimeter, problem solving, factorising quadratics, times tables and brackets.

Produced in 2002, this document from the Key Stage Three National Strategy focuses on how the principles of the National Strategy apply to the teaching and learning of science for students for whom English is an additional language (known as ‘pupils learning EAL’)....

This set of Cre8ate maths activities asks pupils to explore the ways in which their classroom and school can be made wheelchair accessible. If all the activities are attempted, the topic will be an extended one. Mathematical connections involve making sense of plans and diagrams through interpreting scale diagrams...
